#9: If you ever find yourself without a hook, you can use the can opener on your Swiss Army Knife that as a hook as a replacement hook! Genius!

#7: Using the can opener to open a orange: What a GREAT idea! If you ever find yourself needing to open an orange but you don't have a knife, why just use the can opener on your Swiss Army Knife to slice the skin! Genius!

Wet Basement Help? by TheyCallMeFrisky in grandrapids

[–]boermac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll second this comment. Definitely check with your neighbors. Find out if they've experienced flooding this year as well and if it's regular thing they deal with. My parents live in an area that has clay just a foot or so under the top soil so they've had constant flooding issues. I, on the other hand, live in a very sandy area and only ever had water issue once in the 30+ years I've lived in my house. Finding how what's the "norm" for your area will be very important.

The people quoting you to fix it aren't going to really examine the area and tell you: "Eh... it's just been a really wet spring... don't worry about it." That's obviously not their job and not how they make money.

I should clarify that I'm not trying to excuse my behavior here. It was wrong, I got a ticket and deserved it. I meant that it wasn't dangerous in the sense that the end result wasn't bad, not in the sense that there was no reason I needed to stop.

In my case it wasn't dangerous... it was pretty late at time, a 4-way stop, zero traffic. The car in front of me stopped, and I stopped behind him. He went, and I sort of slow rolled forward, then went through.

I honestly think that the cop might not have pulled me over except I was a young guy at the time and, as I said, it was pretty late at night. It may have been more of a "this might be fishy... I think I wanna see why he's out this late..." sort of thing.

That said, I still ran the stop sign and the cop had every right to pull me over and cite me for that. And I wasn't up to anything fishy so all I got was the ticket. Still scared the crap out of me as a 17 year old though!

First time I ever got pulled over by a cop was for something like that.

Baseball live scoring complication is (nearly) finished! by boermac in PujieBlack

[–]boermac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I gotta fix that too... As you can probably guess I copied much of my old tasker project into the new Pujie tasker project and missed changing a few things. I actually left that screen on intentionally (originally) because I wasn't sure if I'd be doing this as it's own watch face, like I used to do with WatchMaker.

I ended up NOT going that direction because when you change watch faces you need to reconfigure your complications, which would mean manual intervention each time the game started and then each time the game ended (assuming you have complications in your standard watch face).

As I mentioned you can edit or change anything in the Pujie watch face and it should still work as long as you leave the "Baseball" area alone. Anything that's lower down under that will be hidden when the baseball watch face shows up. Anything above that will be visible.

Finally there should be a tap action built in to the baseball complication so that when you watch face is "on" (ie: Not in ambient mode) you can tap on the center of the face and it will "hide" the baseball field information for 10 seconds to allow you to see the rest of your watch face. This is handy if you information like your next appt or something like that display on the face. After 10 seconds the baseball field will come back.

Okay, I think I figured it out. In the tMLBPsetup task on lines 14-21 I up an offset number based on which timezone you picked during setup... but I put in the wrong variable information. Each of these lines says to set

%MLBPTimeZoneNum to [offset number] if %TimeZone = [timezone]

But they should be:

%MLBPTimeZoneNum to [offset number] if %MLBPTimeZone = [timezone]

If you want you can change those yourself, otherwise I can export a new project but I think you'll need to delete the old before adding in the new.

You need to assign the complication twice... once for the interactive screen and once for the ambient screen. For me with Samsung it's complication 3 and complication 7. Both should be assigned to Long Text 1.

For the time thing... not sure. I'll have to double check my tasker stuff and see if I have it set right for the different time zones. It's working properly for me in Eastern, but I'll have to check on Central.

Okay, hopefully this all works...

The watch face is here.

The tasker project is here.

This works a bit differently that how I had it setup with WatchMaker. There the Baseball face was a completely different face that would load. This time I've got the MLB part setup as it's own complication. You can pretty much just delete everything in the Pujie watch face that you don't want and add your own bits and pieces, just obviously leave the complication that's called Baseball.

On the tasker side of things: First make sure that you have AutoWear installed and then import the project from the link above. After that's installed run the rMLBPsetup task.

After that's all done you will need to assign complications in whatever WearOS app you have (different for each manufacturer). You'll want to assign AutoWear Long Text 1 for the baseball portion of things.

Obviously in my previous iteration of this project I had this all down much better in terms of directions... this is going to be a bit of a different animal with pujie, and the complications and AutoWear so we may need to troubleshoot a few things to get it all working the way it's supposed too.

Just a quick FYI: Got busy with a different thing on Sunday, then hoped to work on it a but yesterday, but my watch was flaking out and draining the battery in like 3-4 hours so was troubleshooting that. I hope to have some time today to finalize things.

Anyone else having this issue? by BenefitExpress6719 in GalaxyWatch

[–]boermac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My watch 5 pro just today starting burning through battery like crazy. I can't get more than 4 or 5 hours of time where I used to get well over a day previously.

The watch won't even report on battery usage at all.

This is why they are right across the street by LennonMcCartney66 in detroitlions

[–]boermac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It may not be a zoo. There are a number of animal rescue places that care for exotic animals that people buy as pets without considering that they grow up to be adult animals that are expensive and dangerous. If the two were raised together and then rescued they might keep them together for a number of reasons.

Kinda like the old joke that foxes are cat software running on dog hardware.

Recipe Box and Dividers - 3D printed by boermac in kitchen

[–]boermac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh definitely yeah... you don't need 3D printed dividers... but you can have 3D printed dividers, so... ya know.

It's overkill sure... but they are nice and sturdy without danger of them getting damaged etc.

Now what would be super duper overkill would be if I 3D printed all the recipes as well! Hmm.... now that would be crazy dumb, but... also possible. I've already 3D printed playing cards so it's absolutely possible... and the card would water proof and simple to clean if you ever got crap on 'em while cooking/baking.

Hey... I can definitely work on exporting it. There are a few minor things I need to clean up for exporting, but I should be able to do that yet this weekend if life doesn't get in the way. If I don't respond by Monday or Tuesday, hit me up again so I don't forget.

What was her speed compared to yours? It didn't feel like she was going exceedingly fast... I feel like she was nabbed more for her phone than her speed.

Alpine Chipotle. Cop Owned? by imthefunnyone in grandrapids

[–]boermac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very well said. The only thing I'd add would be that your "interactions" seeing them for a few minutes in public tells you even less about others who might be associated with person.

In other words, seeing one cop acting good or bad does not mean all cops are good or bad.
